Summary
-
1.
The effects of temperature on the coefficients of self-diffusion and heterodiffusion of carbon in molybdenum carbide have been determined.
-
2.
The coefficients of heterodiffusion at the temperatures investigated are some two orders of magnitude greater than the coefficients of self-diffusion.
-
3.
The difference between the coefficients of diffusion may be attributed to the strong dependence of thermodynamic activity on the concentration of carbon in molybdenum carbide.
